How can I become a dietitian? what courses should be opted?

People opting for a career in this field should study one of the following courses — home science, dietetics and nutrition, food science and technology, medicine, hotel management or catering technology — at the graduate and postgraduate levels.
Many institutes offer B.Sc in home science, which covers a variety of subjects including diet and nutrition. Four-year food technology courses after competing Class-12 in the science stream are also available in a few colleges and institutions. Those holding a Bachelors degree in food science, home science, hotel management & catering technology, microbiology, biochemistry and medicine are eligible for applying for postgraduate level degrees or diplomas. The postgraduate course in dietetics and nutrition can be a two-year Masters program or a one year postgraduate diploma - Diploma in Dietetics and Public Health Nutrition (DDPHN).In a two-year M.Sc home science course, one can specialize in food science and nutrition. Other subjects covered in this course include biochemistry, physiology, biostatistics, research methods, nutrition, human nutritional requirements, food microbiology and principles of food science in the first year. Human nutrition and dietetics, institutional management and food science are included in the final year. The one-year DDPHN course has a compulsory three-month internship, working in a hospital under a qualified dietician. The subjects covered in DDPHN include biochemistry, nutrition, applied physiology, food, microbiology, administration, therapeutic nutrition, and public health nutrition.

This should be happened. Many institutes offer B.Sc in home science, which covers a variety of subjects including diet and nutrition. Four-year food technology courses after competing Class-12 in the science stream are also available in a few colleges and institutions. So just need to find it.
